Multitasking
We are always told that men can't multi-task, but women can. Well, it certainly seems I can't, but is there evidence women are better at it? It may be another reason for a sex change.
My wife has told me this a number of times. What I've found is, if she's allowed to represent all women, is that women are good at doing a few things at once...just not truly finishing any of them.
Men (OK, me) are good at seeing one thing at a time to completion. It seriously bugs me to walk away from an uncompleted task or project.
I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule.
But one thing I like to do is cook. While "cooking dinner" might be technically one thing to do, it generally involves a number of smaller tasks performed at once - basically, you want everything ready at the same time, not sitting out while another thing finishes. Is this not multitasking? Might want to hold off on that sex change.
Multi tasking is the biggest scam of all time. It simply does not work. Dividing attention results in crappy results all around. Having a dick or a pussy doesn't matter.
Yes, it certainly is! There's a lot of things being juggled, when getting a meal ready, in a timely manner, as you mention. (Lucky wifey you cook and know how to do this time management thing! :-)
There are many men who multi-task equally well as women, if a dude chooses to multi-task. I think it's all about how a person likes to manage their time; if they even make a conscious effort to be as efficient with same as they can; was it something taught them, as a child, etc.
Overall, it just seems that a single parent or a very busy individual have a lot of things to juggle, by themselves, on any given day, which calls for "MORE HANDS on deck" so you just gotta "do the hustle" to get it all done! :-P
Perhaps your "technique" (or lack thereof! Or your body odors or whiskers or...!) BORES her! Just sayin'! :-D
Ask her! You might be surprised to find out what the issue really is! What a concept, hey?! Actually talking to the woman that you want to have your body sweaty and glued to! lol! :-/

If women are so good at multitasking, how come they can't have sex and a headache at the same time? :-)

Talking about the species in general, not anyone in particular. Looks as though I hit a sore point though with you TC.
Too close to a nerve?
